Wisconsin bank lenders back plan for state loan guarantees
About 230 bankers from 160 banks backed Rep Gervase Hephners proposal for a state guarantee on operating loans with an 11 percent interest ceiling and a $10,000 per loan cap, but rejected an interest buy down due to foreclosure moratorium concerns. They urged one on one farmer support and questioned funding and timing for spring relief.

Wisconsin lawmakers hear farm credit plans at public hearing
Agriculture and economic development committees reviewed short and long term credit ideas for farmers, including 9 percent operating loans and a loan guarantee plus interest write-down. Leaders urged action to ease immediate cash needs and pursue tax relief, foreclosure moratoriums, and a credit review board while bond funding for an animal waste program lapsed.
